Trouble querying a field with array of references in Slack thread

6 replies
Last updated: Sep 1, 2020
I have a document like so:
{
  ...restFields,
  name: `Test 123`,
  variants: [{ sku: `test1`, ...restFields}]
}
I’m trying to query this field like so:

*[variants[].sku match "*test*"]
This is returning no results. From the docs this seems to be how I would query that, but it does not work. Any help?

Does removing the the first asterisks in the match string work?

Nope, even doing this is not working
*[variants[].sku == "test1"]

Can you post a query URL so can test? DM me if you don't want it public.

Resolved on DM. Turned out that 
variants
is an array of references, so the correct query was 
*[variants[]->.sku match "*test*"]
